White House visitor logs and e-gov

The White House website has an interesting post on new disclosure policies that make available on the web, for the first time in history, all White House visitor records. Transparency like you’ve never seen before is a progressive record of transparency made possible by a forward thinking administration, strengthening and complementing existing Right to Information legislation.

Compare this with Sri Lanka’s proposed use of ICT at local and national government levels and lack of any Right to Information legislation.
